COMPLICATIONS

reast cancer is common, and is currently considered the first cancer
in women. In Tunisia, it accounts for about 30% of all female cancers.
The term “pregnancy-associated breast cancer” is used if this cancer is
diagnosed during pregnancy and up to one year after giving birth. This
association was considered for a long time to be of rapid evolution and
unfavorable prognosis.Breast surgery during pregnancy is complicated
due to the hypervascularization of the gland during this period. Therefore,
it imposes proper hemostasis and lymphostasis. The main effects of
radiotherapy during the preimplantation period (from conception to 10
days) are represented by embryonic death and malformation risk during
the embryonic phase (days 10-14 up to 8 weeks).When chemotherapy
is administered in the first trimester, the rate of malformations is 14%
to 19%, and the rate dropped to 1.3% when chemotherapy is introduced
in the second or third trimester. The literature reported a 3.8% of fetal
malformations in his study,However ; A protocol based on Anthracylins (up
to 100 mg/m2 but 50 mg/m2 in most studies) appears to be prescribed
without major materno-fetal consequences. Experience of maternity and
neonatology center of tunis-tunisia; We report in this retrospective study
a series of 25 patients with pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC)
recorded over 10 years at the Tunis Maternity and Neonatal Center
(TMNC). In conclusion; it seems that the prognosis of breast cancer is
not much aggravated by pregnancy itself as by the delay in diagnosis and
management. Treatment should be started promptly during pregnancy.
